National League Publicity Bureau
Seeks Status of Amateur Ball Here
OIIN' IjK.W ISON, secretary of ^
the Amateur Baseball associa
tion, Is In receipt of a query from
Cullen Cain of the Service Bureau
of the National league concerning
the interest shown in amateur base
ball In the city of Omaha.
In regards to the above mentioned
questionnaire, Dennison had the fol
lowing statement to rnalte: "Although
the Omaha Amateur Baseball associa
tion enjoyed its liest year last season,
Interest this season from tTie player
end of the game Is decreasing.
"Last year the teams flocked in to
obtain franchisee; this season it was
necessary for me to make several
personal visits to some of the mer
-—
chants who back teams In order to
obtain teams to fill the leagues.
"Part of the Interest Is probably
due to growth of sports of all sorts
which has a tendency to pull players
away from the national pastime,
itespite the fact that the players aie
lacking Interest the number of fang
is growing yearly.” (I-ast season
800,000 persons witnessed amateur
ball games.)
Itennlson went on further and
said: “Baseball is a skillful game,
which not everyone can play. Some
of the sports which tend to divert
the youth from base!>all require no
skill at all and most everyone can
tase part.”

REPORTS from the Spring train
ing camp of tlie Omaha Buffa
oes. champions of the Western
league la#*t season, are not very en
couraging. 'TIs true that the scores
of exhibition games mean little, but
at the same time the pre-season con
tests reflect somewhat on the strength
< f th<*tearns competing.
The Omaha club ha* neon h.ixing
trouble with pitching in its exhibi
tion contests and the support gfxen
the hinders hasn't been an.x thing to
boa«t of. This may all come out in
the wash, so to speak. We hope so.
Omaha had n good Kali club last
year, but didn’t draw any too well at
the Fifteenth and Vinton street Kail
pa^k. Tlie Buffaloes ployed before
rood crowds in each park except
their own backyard. With a good club
and small attendance in 1324, one
wonders xvlmt will happen if the 1325
Buffaloes turn out to bo a second
division I'Mtn,
ITH Pitcher Marry l.ee meeting
the team, probably In Houston,
next week, and with a third
baseman due to Join the Buffaloes
before the league so sons opens, Burch
writes that h»> will present n com
plete lineup when time comes for the
1‘Hrrler to spring.
Omaha fails will be Vlad to read
of 11 *i»*> l.ee going to join the Buf
faloes. Manx was one of the lost
pitchers in the league last year., lie
is a Houlhpaxx. and a popular one
at that.
Ice. now in lo* \itgrle*. received
permission to delay reporting until
April I. and has never, says Harney
in Ills letter, been considered a hold
out. Tlie writer has luen under the
Impression that Ice xxa* a holdout.
“thief" Robinson, outfielder, xcx«
termed a holdout I lie **( Met" fin
nll> came (n term* Wild Ilia lie
got an Increase In salary x%r don’t
know
"Hill" Baiiex, leading pitcher of the
Western last year In strikeouts, is
not the Ha ilex of 1324. "Bill" was
i.etti death a doer Ian xxiuter, lit
suffered front heart trouble. Bailey
is well along life's narrow path and
It I* hard for age to overcome Illness
such n» ol' "BUI" suffered. Hurch
counted on Hatley winning *0 ball
games. Here's hoping Barney count
ed right.
In his Icier to the writer. Hurch
says th it Bailey is his venerable self
in.l Is liegging for a . hance in work
a few Innings. "BUI" Is being kept
under wraps until he completely re
gains his strength
THE Omaha club has Frank Os
born In th# outfield. Fans re
member this Osborn person at
one of the best little hitlers who ever!
Hotted down the baseball paths at:
league park Frank hits ihe ball
and hll# ti hard. He Is ihe property \
of the Buffaloes and Is expected to!
produre many runs this year.
I .ee King, new tanner and an out
tlelder, together with l{ntiiiisnn and
i <*'horn will complete the outfield.
King played well in ihe south with
Minn opt *H ■ We will soon lie able
to tell what King can do hi West
orn company .
The pitching department is
worrying tlie Buitalo pilots. Willi
Koupal and Joe Hailey- gone, and
I ee and llailey not in (lie fold, the
hurling staff Is crippled. Burch lias
several newcomers. Stone seems to
lie the best of the lot. The staff !
needs strengthening.
Barney haa several new faces lo
■>ho v Omaha fans, but whether the
newcomers can produce the ol' punch
that the 1 t*C4 club churned out at
critical times remains to be seen. W>
doubt tf the’ can. In less there Is i
a home run hitter among the lot. the
1M4 Omaha dub will be minus psrt
of the punch that Nick Oullop de
llvered,

Safeties; Leiialiau Also

E A 1 M U N T. Tex.,
March 28. — Ham
shackle baseball
from start to fin
ish today made a
few brilliant plays
stand out while the
K x porters were
taking another
from the Buffa
loes, 17-8.
Twelve runs in
tlie seventh Inning
by the home team
put the finishing
touch on a game
played under lovvr
skies and in smoke-laden atmospheres
which was whipping in from oft t' e
gulf with a chill that sent fans hov
ering into sheltered corners of the
stand and prevented much pitching.
Sad Harvey Harris, once in the Texas
league with Shreveport, vvus no more
effective today than when he flippy Nv
’em up for thl Cellarltes last yea
and he was punched for nine safeties,
netting five runs, hut many mot*
were cut down by four double pla. s
during his tenure of the cockpit.
Big I,enalian, who is carried on
the payroll as a utility fielder anil
pinch pitcher, probably thinks lie
will go back to first basing, for lie
surely couldn’t pitch today. He put
rgnners aboard, then forced them
with complimentary tickets during
the first of the seventh, and never
did get Hie side out. Then Smith
rame bark again today. He found
eight runs already home, two out
and the liases filled. Kinnear, a
local collegian, hit the first pitch
into left field for three sacks and
the parade continued.
The Buffaloes were assisted to a.
run in the first inning through home
lax baseball. Monroe walked and
moved to second when O'Ned shot a
single Into short center. Robinson
sacrificed and was safe when Osborne
dropped a throw. Both runners ad
vanced, Monroe scored and O'Neil
went to third on a passed ball.
I.each s fine throw from center
helped a lot when O’N'ell tried to
score after King's hard poke. It was
a double play. Another in the third
put the visitors well ahead and they
continued double play tactics vicious
ly as the strands groaned. But in
the last of the thigpl, L*aeh found
two aboard and lined a long homer
ever the center palings.
The final game of the series will
be played Supday.
